DISHWASHING DEVICE Filed Aug. 5, 1927 Patented May 24, 1932 UNITED STATES CHARLES F. FITTER, OF COSCOB, CONNECTICUT DISHWASHING DEVICE Application led August 5, 1927. Serial No. 210,764.

The present invention relates to fountain brushes. The invention has been developed in connection with the production of a dish washing device for use in restaurants, hotels and the like and this embodiment of the invention will be described for the purpose of illustrating the principles of the invention.

The nature and obj ects of the invention will be more clearly understood from a consideration of the particular description. Referring to the drawings forming a part hereof in which is shown the embodiment of the invention selected for description- Figure l is an end View of a dish washing device embodying the invention;

Figure 2 is aside view of the same;

Figure 3 is an end view similar to Fig. 1 but showing the closure turned to unlocked position, and

Figure 1 is a central sectional view of the device.

The apparatus shown in the drawings comprises a cylindrical shell 5 providing a soap chamber 6 with a removable closure capv 7 at one end and a fixed closure 8 at the opposite end. The complete apparatus comprises a flexible hose 10 arranged to be attached to a suitable faucet. not shown. The cap 7 is provided with a flange having cam surfaces 11 arranged to engage beneath lugs 12 which may be either rigidly or rotatably attached to opposite projecting bars or tubes 13. The cap 7 is provided with a nozzle 15 secured in and extending centrally through the cap to provide an outlet from the soap chamber. The inner face of the cap is so formed as to cause an eddying of a stream of water flowing toward the cap as indicated at 16. This surn face may be of any desired form; as shown it is simply provided with an annular groove 16 of such a form as to cause an eddying of the water thereby to cause a soap solution to be formed in the soap chamber. Opposite the outlet nozzle an inlet tube 18 is arranged for a limited longitudinal movement in the guide or tube 19 rigidly fixed in the end 8 of the soap container. In use the shell 5 becomes very hot for the reason that the device is used with hot Water and it is desirable therefore to provide some suitable insulation in order that the device may be handled with comfort by the operative. As shown, a series of tubes 13 spaced closely enough to prevent the lingers touching the shell 5 are arranged circumferentially around the device, these tubes being secured in the end plate 8 and to ap annular collar 20 at opposite ends of the s ell.

When the inlet tube 18 is moved forward to its inner position the forward end thereof seats upon a suitable valve seat formed in the head or on the inner end of the nozzle 15 to provide a substantially water tight joint in order that after washing the dishes with soapy water a stream of clear water may be applied for rinsing the dishes.

Ordinarily in use the apparatus shown is used without any brush but when desired in washing pots and pans or dishes to which matter adheres, the Shanks of a brush 22 may b e inserted in any two opposite tubes 13 thus holding the brush in suitable position in front of the nozzle for use.

The description of a particular structure is illustrative merely and is not intended as defining the limits of the invention.

I claim:

1. A hand nozzle of the character described for playing a stream of hot water comprising a body member having a water passage therethrough, heads for said body, and a plurality of tubes connected to said heads, surrounding and spaced from said body member to hold said heads and to provide an air insulated hand hold.

2. A device as set forth in claim 1 which further includes a brush provided with stems, said tubes receiving the stems of the brush when positioned over the end of said water passage.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification this 2nd day of August, 1927.

Y CHARLES F. FITTER.
